- The Inpatient Rehab Unit on the 6th floor of
Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center is
a unique, specialized “hospital within a
hospital.” Occupational therapists, physical
therapists and speech/language pathologists work
as a team with the medical director, the social
worker, the nurses and the patient and family to
provide therapy during the day and carryover of
activities by the nurses and family at night.
Therapy is focused on getting a patient as
independent as possible with the kinds of
activities he or she performed before the
illness.
-
- The unit offers comfortable, spacious rooms
designed to maximize each patient’s
rehabilitation potential. Therapy areas include
a rehabilitation gym, a patient kitchen, an
activities of daily living room set up to
simulate a patient’s own bedroom and a newly
decorated dining room that al-so houses a
gardening program.
-
- Because each person is unique, the dedicated
team of professionals on the unit individualizes
every patient’s care, taking into consideration
that everyone progresses at a different pace. On
the Inpatient Rehab Unit, Southwest Mississippi
Regional Medical Center is dedicated to helping
patients get past the hurdles and back to their
lives — returning to work, family, active
retirement or independent living.
